IOM – International Organization for Migration

Published purpose

This project aims to increase the capacity and knowledge of key Government of Colombia agencies at national and local levels, as well as civil society actors that are responsible for implementing Colombia's peace process. The project also works to increase citizen engagement through peacebuilding and reconciliation, thereby contributing to citizen mobilization around the implementation of the peace accords. Project activities include: (1) improving the Government of Colombia's ability to monitor and track the results of their project implementation plan; (2) effectively reaching newly identified victims in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP) controlled areas for registration and inclusion in the victims' assistance program; (3) implementing participatory research and planning on new forms of youth criminality linked to post-conflict dynamics; and (4) increasing support for the peace process and peace implementation through engaging national and local peacebuilding stakeholders with educational and communication material.
